Another Answered Prayer

This will be a short post. As I mentioned last week, I started my journey as a tech blogger with AndroidGuys a little over a week ago. Currently, I am focused on writing about smartwatches and wearables on their site, SmarterWatching. The position is unpaid, but great for experience, and exposure. On Friday, I was […]

And, We’re Off

To say life has been interesting over the past 3-6 months would be an understatement. In that time, we have helped start a church, our son went to sleep-away camp for the first time, I was laid off, and now — well, now is what this blog is all about. Things have started happening over […]

Coincidental Blessings

A couple of weeks ago, in my post covering My Top 9 Opportunities, I listed one of them as ‘Part-Time Office Work.’ This past Tuesday, I met with the owner of the local company to find out more about what he needed. My original thought was that they needed an assistant; someone to help streamline […]

The Big Day

I’m taking a break from the weekly self-absorbed, reflective blog post to talk about a big day that’s is soon to be upon us. This coming Sunday, two of my closest friends will officially launch the new church in St. Pete that God has called them to start. I’m sure, for them, they are dealing with […]

My Top 9 Opportunities

When I re-defined what this blog was to be about back in July, I wanted to make it a place where I could track my progress as a freelance writer. So far, I’ve talked mostly about the spiritual and emotional ups and downs of being laid off and facing the mountain that I perceive is […]

Trading Fear for Trust

For almost 8 years, I got up every weekday and went to the same building, parked in the same area, and made the same walk in, around, and out of that building. For 6 and a half of those years, I sat at the same desk. Monday through Friday held very little adventure, at least during […]

Passion Without Cubicles

Having been freed from employment recently, I’ve had some extra time to browse around the internet. One of the things that has struck me is how many people out there find passion and fulfillment in a variety of things. We get blinded by our own lives, worries, stresses, and responsibilities and forget what it is […]

Starting Monday

Browse through your favorite app store and you will find hundreds, perhaps thousands, of app based around productivity. Most people have a desire to be more productive. We all want to get more done in less time. As a result, we download calendar apps, task manager apps, fitness app, and apps for tracking just about everything […]

The Choice to Fear

As soon as I put it out there that I want to be a writer, and I am going to make a serious attempt and making a living writing, the enemy  starts trying to convince me what a terrible idea it is. Can I seriously believe that I can replace my job income with a writing income? […]

The Layoff

The journey begins. I started this blog with the idea that I could one day make a living writing. I would sit in my cubicle imagining a day when I could work from home, and have all the time in the world to focus on doing one thing really well. Here I am now, sitting at home, typing away, […]

New Adventures

It’s always exciting to set out on a new adventure. It could be literal adventure; packing up your car and heading out west, on your way to a ski trip or rafting excursion. Or maybe it’s that moment when your ride pulls away and you stand there staring at the entrance to the Appalachian Trail. […]

Creation

Below is an excerpt from a narrative I wrote for First Baptist Church of St. Petersburg Holy Week event, Experience the Story, a unique, exciting, and immersive multimedia experience of GOD’s interaction with the world.  Before there was anything, there was nothing. That’s not exactly true. Before there was anything, there was God.That’s not completely true. Before […]

Sin

Below is an excerpt from a narrative I wrote for First Baptist Church of St. Petersburg Holy Week event, Experience the Story, a unique, exciting, and immersive multimedia experience of GOD’s interaction with the world.  In that moment, God judged man. In that moment, humans, for the first time, chose to be lord over their own life, […]
